Ink Protocol Decentralizes Marketplaces

Buyers

Sellers

Reputation is decentralized, independent, and public, so it is available anywhere. Bring it with you and never worry about rebuilding it from scratch.

Any marketplace

Ink Protocol can be integrated into new or existing marketplaces and can also be used in marketplaces that don’t directly handle payments.

Any transaction

Ink Protocol doesn’t require a marketplace. It can be used for any peer-to-peer transaction, regardless of where it happens.

Ink Protocol Features

Decentralized reputation and feedback

Ink Protocol helps users safely send and receive payments in P2P marketplaces while earning public reputation for every completed transaction.

Sellers can take their earned reputation with them from marketplace to marketplace.

To ensure sellers’ reputations are credible, feedback may only be given on completed transactions.

Third party mediation and escrow

Ink Protocol’s built-in dispute resolution allows a mediator to be assigned to a transaction. Mediators exist as independent Smart Contracts and are jointly agreed upon by the buyer and seller.

With mediation, payment is held in escrow until the buyer confirms the transaction. In the event of a dispute, the mediator works with both parties to decide on an outcome.

The Ink Protocol Ecosystem

Marketplaces, payment apps, and mediation services can all use Ink Protocol. Listia will integrate the Ink Protocol into its existing marketplace and immediately begin development of the Ink Pay app. Developers can build their own marketplaces, payment apps, and other services to leverage the Ink Protocol platform.
